Shabby Clock Makeover

Some time ago I bought a antique watch, or to be precisejust a frame without a clock. He stayed in the shade waiting for me to put him back to life and make his heart beating again.After hard work at home, I decided to devote myself to him and bring back his former beauty.
Process was simple. I found a mechanism on an old clock, added a image that I found on a blog http://thegraphicsfairy.com/, adapted hourhands, which were white and too long. I fixed image with process like decoupage, but I used wood glue mixed with a little water. I ad it first to the ground and then over image.When everything was dry I`ve draw again parts of the image that were washed out.Over all, I sprinkled a little spray varnish for shine and better fixing and wrote the numbers and then put the glass back.When I put it back on the frame, he happily knock from the bottom of his heart.Pre nekog vremena kupila sam starinski sat, zapravo samo ram bez sata. On je opušteno čekao u senci da ga se setim da mu vratim srce koje će opet da kuca.Nakon napornog spremanja nereda u stanu, odlučila sam da mu posvetim malo vremena i vratim nekadašnju lepotu.Postupak je bio jednostavan. Pronašla sam mehanizam sa nekog starog sata, dodala sliku koju sam našla na blogu http://thegraphicsfairy.com/, malo prilagodila kazaljke koje su bile bele i previše dugačke. Sliku sam uradila u dekupaž tehnici, ali sam upotrebila lepak za drvo pomešan sa malo vode, nanela ga prvo na podlogu, a potom i preko slike. Kada se sve osušilo, malo sam popravila sliku tankim flomasterom i nacrtala brojeve. Preko svega sam poprskala malo laka za sjaj i bolje učvršćivanje i vratila stakleni poklopac. Kada sam ga vratila u ram, on je srećno zakucao od sveg srca.
